Anyone have insight on what the actual total amount of #bitcoin zapped is?

primal.net says ~84.2 BTC

zapalytics.com says 4.37 BTC

I’m guessing the truth is somewhere in the middle. nostr:note14u4gthmlf23czvsnuerwz4ct8cpptx29x7m8vnrhthzec6w55dgsx2wv57

For zapalytics I take every zap and exclude any zap over 2 bitcoin and there's 2 accounts that have a ton of fake zaps so I exclude them as well. I'm pretty sure that's an accurate as we can get.

Okay thank you for the methodology clarification 🤙

By “fake zaps” do you mean just “wash zapping” oneself?

allen 2y ago

that’s referred to as “zapsturbation” in the biz.

walker 2y ago

That’s a much better term. You a writer or something?

allen 2y ago

shitposter actually. similar but different.

walker 2y ago

Much more illustrious title, imo.

Can't really know if it's fake or someone zapping themselves. For example I just fake zapped this note 1k bitcoin.

If you control the key that signs for your zaps you can fake them because no one can verify if a lightning tx actually happened

If it is fake do we know where it was said to be fakely sent?

Carman 2y ago

It has an invoice in it, but that is also fake haha

marcp 2y ago

I was just thinking the suppos'ed rcvr could flag it as fake.. in theory.

The faker has to be the receiver
